 DB> Yep, a descendant of that rich text format.  I've done 
 DB> a quick and dirty conversion (ran the .rtf file through 
 DB> a REXX rtf->html convertor and then printed the html to 
 DB> a file.).  Pretty quick and dirty but should be 
 DB> somewhat readable -- the formatting even when I looked 
 DB> at the original .rtf stank.
 DB> Look for CIR33.TXT in the same area where you foung CIR33TXT.EXE.
 Can you send them to me?  kamen@probfate.alive.ampr.ab.ca
 Thanks.
